Scrobbs Posted February 5, 2009 Ray-gun techno is one of my fave sub-sub-classifications of it. I don't think it 'officially' existed, but it was a name we came up with to describe some particularly lasery-noise type of acid techno. Hooray for techno!

n0wak Posted February 5, 2009 Ray-gun techno Is that anything like the Death By Distemper compilation? http://www.residentadvisor.net/news.aspx?id=9280 it has that suitably sci-fi-ish feel, especially the Depth Charge track which is almost straight out of a John Carpenter movie. But I don't know if I'd classify that as techno. I don't know. Genre labels confuse me These came in the mail today via Raster Noton So good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wrestlevania Posted February 6, 2009 Listened to Hybrid's Soundsystem_01 a few times over the last week. While initially being disappointed with it, I've had it on loud today while working at home (blimmin' snow) and it's brilliant. But don't think it's some floaty, precocious over-produced Trance guff like the Hybrid of yester-year could be occasionally... Soundsystem_01 is a two-disc compilation of varied, intelligent and meaty Electronic music. The first disc is quite mellow and alludes to modern movie soundtracks, with contributions from Trentemøller and Harry Gregson-Williams. Whereas the second disc is a proper thumping mix of some quality Progressive tracks from the last 18 months or so. Tis really very good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scrobbs Posted February 8, 2009 Is that anything like the Death By Distemper compilation? http://www.residentadvisor.net/news.aspx?id=9280it has that suitably sci-fi-ish feel, especially the Depth Charge track which is almost straight out of a John Carpenter movie. But I don't know if I'd classify that as techno. I don't know. Genre labels confuse me . No it's not that. I miraculously found that album on my player yesterday, don't know how it got there, but am rather chuffed it did! I rather like it. Ray-gun techno is just a silly name we came up with once listening to records. Just some techno with cheesy laser type sound loops. Pay me no heed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nick Posted February 14, 2009 (edited) I'm really into the Hospital Records Podcast. If you like Drum and Bass at all then this is a must, even if you don't I really would recommend giving it a listen, there's some really high quality music in them from upcoming producers. Also get as many back dated episodes as you can, because they're all ace. Edited February 14, 2009 by Nick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ysbreker Posted February 16, 2009 I have to admit I'm rather liking the new Lily Allen CD. http://3voor12.vpro.nl/speler/luisterpaal/41419862 It's supersweet pop music, I know. But I can't be helped. I'm a sucker for this kind of music somehow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nachimir Posted February 20, 2009 I have been listening to a lot of Johann Johannsson recently, especially Fordlandia (epic, beautiful) and Has everyone here heard of Spotify? Between that, Last.fm and MP3s I can pretty much listen to anything now. I have seven invites; if anyone would like one, PM me the email address you'd like it to go to (Edit: looks like you don't need an invite at the moment). Spotify is also the only place I can find online with Fordlandia to listen to, instead of a rubbish 30 second sample. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spotify is also the only place I can find online with Fordlandia to listen to, instead of a rubbish 30 second sample. I've been using it for a week or two now and I'm telling everyone about it. Even my dad loves it, he can find loads of old bands that Peel talked about once in the early eighties. If this is the future of the music industry, I'm so onboard. I've already purchased an album that I wouldn't have listened to without Spotify. <3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nappi Posted February 22, 2009 Spotify is awesome. Thanks for the tip. Also, it seems that you still need an invitation if you are not in the UK. I was able to get one here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Roderick Posted March 19, 2009 Last Tuesday, for the first time in five years, ELECTRIC SIX were in The Netherlands, giving a single concert in Eindhoven. And it was _AMAZING_, I love that band! Huge energy, delightful songs, crowds jumping up and down... here's a couple of videos I made with my camera during the show, for those interested! http://www.captainaugust.com/01flashyman.mov (FLASHY MAAAAAAN! Leaving all his troubles in a trashcan!) http://www.captainaugust.com/02highvoltage.mov (Danger! Danger! The classic) http://www.captainaugust.com/03gaybar2.mov http://www.captainaugust.com/04mytechno.mov Yes! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Roderick Posted March 22, 2009 I hope you picked up that tour exclusive Sexy Trash CD while you were there. I REALLY HOPE SO. It wasn't that tour, unfortunately! They DID have the Dirty Shame Dick Valentine solo album, but I forgot to buy it in the end because I was just too smitten with the concert. Maybe there'll be another opportunity next year. They promised they wouldn't wait as long as the first time to return Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
